He was an absolutely wonderful man. He would gently give me a pat on the back and ask me how I was doing. I believe he was a true priest and will be rewarded now!

Dear Father Murphy was always there to shine the light of God and His Grace on the important moments of our lives. We will forever remember all the Sacramental moments shared with Padre, from Baptisms to Last Rites and Funerals, and all the celebrations of life and friendship in between. Rest In Peace good friend and good shepherd. Our love for you endures evermore. Love, Don & Joan Moore Family.

I even have a dim memory of a Polaroid camera - such wizardry in the monochrome Ireland of the '70s.

Fr. Murphy officiating our wedding.
I was so sorry to hear about Fr. Murphy. He was a dear man, and he impacted so many in his own special way. We were fortunate to have heard him preach, as well as having him officiate our wedding several years ago. He will be dearly missed!
